I like how a camera on the windshield of the Diablo is like a camera on the hood of most cars. lol

I'm a long-time Georgia resident. Cars can get that moldy in 6 months when stored in the wrong manner. Big contributors are closed windows, closed garage, high heat, high humidity, and a lot of shade. It's a recipe for stale, humid air that isn't moving. I'm just shocked there were no stuck wheels. If it had drum brakes, I could almost guarantee at least one of them would be frozen.

Not everyone is mechanically-minded. Some people like cars for the mechanical experience, some people like cars for the driving or styling. Ed is the latter.

This is the best Vinwiki video all year, easily.

Only time will tell how healthy this engine is. Modular 4v engines can be very sensitive to oil being in all the right places on startup. Legit Street Cars and Stay Tuned each had fresh modular builds that they accidentally torched because they didn’t prime the oiling systems before first startup. Likely a car sitting 10+ years may not be as bad as a fresh engine with assembly lube only, but it should still give pause. Ford even included a feature where you can floor the throttle as you try to start it, and the ECU will cut fuel so that oil can circulate through the engine. Hopefully they checked everything and primed it before first startup
